Outlook for Tuesday:-
• Yesterday was another example of how bullish the sentiment has become in Indian markets. We didn’t go down with the global weakness and kept our benchmark Sensex higher. Nifty did not close with big gains but it did come into positive territory.
• Now 6170 looks like a very good short-term support for the Nifty and trend may remain upwards until that gets broken. Bullish sentiment may not be dampened until Reliance Power issue gets through.
• Though everything looks alright for now, R Power IPO will suck out a lot of liquidity from the system. That can have some impact on our markets which has already witnessed a lot of selling from FIIs since November 2007. Being stock-specific is only advised.
• Subex Azure (358):- The stock has broken out and can target 400 levels. Buy with SL 335
• Lupin (635):- It is consolidating nicely and can target 730-740 level in short-term. Buy with SL 600.
• Idea, Kir Oil Eng, KPIT, Tata Motors are other stocks that look bullish on graph.

By A K Prabhakar

The below given views is of my own (A.K.Prabhakar of ANANDRATHI) it doesn’t reflect companies view. U.S markets has had its impact on global markets from 1980’s so based on that the below given text is prepared.

Global market Special view: Dow has broken 13000 levels and 75week moving average which comes around 12700 is the support in many ways (Low in previous rally) and as per Dow Theory U.S market is entering bear phase. And talk of recession hitting U.S is getting bigger and Fed cutting interest rate also won’t help as inflationary pressure has to be also addressed with Crude around $98.

How will India be affected by this development?

Already Indian exports are affected by rising Rupee and any slowdown in U.S will impact our Tech & Textile sector which is highest employer in India. New generation employees have created credit beyond 4-5yrs and if no salary hike is given, it will affect them very badly. (Salary cut or unemployment would be disaster)

What impact will this have in our stocks market?

In 2007 India got 71000crs from foreign funds and if Global markets reacts then all emerging markets funds would go into safer investment like debt and gold. And with Reliance Power issue which can suck minimum of 12000 crs in liquidity, if fresh flows are hard to come we can see intermediate correction.

Do we see any slowdown in investment from FIIs?

As per data available in NSE & BSE website funds which has come into secondary markets is negative from November till date and there is no signs yet that new funds from western world would come in. Major correction in U.S market would make global investor withdraw money from emerging markets.

Is Indian markets attractive in short term?

Indian growth story is very strong but any recession globally will affect us also as high crude is benefiting Indian growth in big way as Indian employment, exports and investment come from gulf region in major way (Engineering, construction & raw material). And our stocks markets have fully priced in future growth, but still many attractive pockets remain liquidity is always very important.

What will be long term impact?

World Recession can bring slowdown in India at the maximum, but Indian growth story is a long term one which is here to stay. As India is putting infrastructure in place things would move in India favor any correction would be chance to buy for long term investor while short term is always very difficult to predict, 38000 to 45000 would be Sensex level in 4-5yrs from now.

What can derail India’s growth?

Politics and bureaucracy should speed up reform process. India is the powerful trends of demography and urbanisation: half the population is under 25 years old and 70% still live in the countryside. India needs to strengthen its infrastructure (hard and soft), reduce its stifling bureaucracy, deregulate its labour market and further develop its financial system. If it does, these two trends can help lift the economy’s potential growth rate to 10%. But without reforms, these trends can become a major liability, possibly reducing potential growth to 5-6%.

The oil price

Oil is now almost five times more expensive than it was at the beginning of 2002.

Global Markets:-

American markets were flat as Dow Jones closed just 12 points higher. Indian ADRs too were flat. Asian indices have opened mixed.

Outlook for Friday:-

· Once again yesterday was a narrow range for this market despite negative Asian and US markets. Even if this is a sign of strength, market indicators say that we are near a top. This may not be a top but we are near it.

· Number of stocks hitting upper circuits is increasing daily. More than 1000 scrips are hitting only buyer circuits for the last 3-4 trading sessions. Many of them don’t have the right fundamentals to be a part of such breathtaking rallies.

· Money in the stock market is made through investing and caution is advised when a futures player also considers himself as an investor. One needs to take informed decision while deploying his hard-earned money in the stock market.

· Reliance and ONGC are near all-time highs and they can make a big difference to this market. Any positive move in these stocks and short-covering will take the market to higher orbit once again.

· Nifty levels of 6125 and 6060 look pretty important now as strength will be witnessed above these levels. A move past 6230 will force shorts to cover.

· GMR Infra (251):- Buy for target of 275-280 in short-term. Keep SL of 240.

· Tata Motors is in the final stages of winning the Ford brands. The stock can perform very well in 2008 and only investors should buy it.

Global Markets:-

Dow Jones closes down by more than 200 points on the back of biggest decline in manufacturing in five years. MTNL ADR gained 8% and Tata Motors 3%.

Outlook for Thursday:-

· Markets to open weak on negative global cues. Cement companies can see some selling on the back of news that TN Government may take over the private companies if prices are not cut.

· Yesterday Nifty made a nice recovery from lows of 6060 but once we are below that, 6020 and 5980 can come rapidly. With results season just around, one needs to be light with positions. Correction starting from current levels is not a good sign. Any move below 5980 will be very negative for this market.

· GDL is looking very nice around current levels of 161. The stock just needs to cross 168 and it can rapidly move towards 200.

· Satyam Comp (436):- The stock has consolidated nicely and can target around 485-490 levels in days to come. Buy with SL 425
